"Dante Reading from the Divine Comedy" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Domenico di Michelino, created in 1465. The artwork is located in the world-renowned Florence Cathedral, also known as the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore. This fresco is particularly significant as it depicts the esteemed Florentine poet Dante Alighieri, author of the "Divine Comedy," one of the most important literary works in the Western canon.

The fresco portrays Dante standing before the three realms depicted in his epic poem: Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. He is shown holding a copy of the "Divine Comedy," pointing towards the mount of Purgatory in the background, while the city of Florence is depicted at his feet, symbolizing the poet's love for his hometown despite his exile. The detailed representation of the afterlife realms reflects the narrative of the "Divine Comedy," with various scenes from the poem illustrated within the fresco's landscape.

Domenico di Michelino's work serves not only as an homage to Dante but also as an educational piece that visually interprets the complex allegorical journey of the soul towards God, as described in the "Divine Comedy." The fresco is celebrated for its vivid imagery, its blending of religious and literary culture, and its role in immortalizing Dante Alighieri as a central figure of Italian cultural heritage. It remains a valuable piece of Renaissance art, offering insight into the period's intellectual pursuits and artistic achievements.
